Printed in U.S.A. - 291 Vibraphone Solo VI – David Saperstein (2011) Performance Notes: 1. Accidentals, once introduced into a measure, apply to one register only, and remain in effect until cancelled by a natural or until the bar line. Additional accidentals are sometimes added as a precaution. 2. Four mallets are required, and the choice of specific types of mallets is left to the performer, in accordance with individual preferences and the acoustical conditions of the performance space. 3. With the exception of when the pedal clears the sound, let all notes vibrate throughout. 4. The duration of the work is approximately 6’26” Program Notes: Vibraphone Solo VI was written in June 2011 in response to a call for scores from Robert Morris and Benjamin Boretz, the editors of Perspectives of New Music, for works dedicated to the memory of Milton Babbitt, who passed away at the beginning of 2011. The score bears the dedication, “In Memory of Milton Babbitt, Composer, Author, Teacher, Friend.” In this work, a similar process takes place as in Vibraphone Solo II, where there is a duality between long, slowly moving passages and short sections of fastpaced music. In Vibraphone Solo II, the slow passages win out in the end, but in this piece, it is difficult to say which element reigns supreme. - David Saperstein - 292 Copyright © David Saperstein.
